Chapter 88
The assassination incident made the atmosphere of the winter hunt look gloomy and serious, but it was not all without benefits for Ming Shiyun At least in such a sensitive period, Concubine Liang Shu didn't do much and because Shu Linyu was also injured in this incident, the emperor still made a plan to return to the palace as soon as possible after the winter hunting ceremony three days ago
"I'm going back to the palace," she looked at Tang Wanyi with some surprise, and after thinking for a while, Ming Shiyun also understood the reason, "Xiao Yingzhe found out the clue so quickly, won't he take the opportunity to suppress political opponents again?"
"This ...... The slave doesn't know ......" Tang Wanyi looked a little embarrassed Since the two of them spread out the fact that she was Xiao Yingzhe's subordinate, Ming Shiyun's attitude towards her became more and more unkind "Niangniang, you ...... I...... The slave is really ......"
"It's okay, and it's like I'm bullying you, don't you just ask casually?" glanced at the past casually, Ming Shiyun also knew that her attitude was really a little deliberate, as if she was deliberately finding fault, but as long as she mentioned Xiao Yingzhe recently, she was inexplicably angry, and she really couldn't control it, "Forget it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, since he is about to return to the palace, you just pack up and get ready."
"Yes, the slave gets it."
"Hey, wait a minute, what's going on over there Sister Shu," Tang Wanyi was just about to step down, Ming Shiyun suddenly remembered Shu Linyu, who was still recuperating from her injuries, and asked again, "If she wants to recuperate, it's not good for me to bother me often, you stop by and help me ask her how she is doing today, but it's much better."
"Don't worry, the slave knows that the mother is worried about Concubine Shu Xian, and I went over there early in the morning to ask Yulian said that Concubine Xian's mental state is not bad today, and if you want to come to see her, you might as well let her rest."
"Forget it, I still won't bother her" Hearing that Shu Linyu was recovering smoothly, Ming Shiyun also put her mind at ease, shook her head gently, and sat back to the window slowly, and flipped through a few pages of books on the desk at random "I'm going back to the palace tomorrow, let's rest for a quiet day, she also has to rest well, otherwise how to face the storm, rain and conspiracy in the palace."
"Niangniang don't have to worry about Concubine Xian Niangniang has always been very cautious and cautious Thinking about it will be fine, not to mention that this time it is Concubine Xian, one of the four concubines Who dares to deal with her casually But Niangniang, your favor has become more and more prosperous for a while Although the position is not promoted, it is also eye-catching It is much easier to deal with a mere concubine in this palace than to deal with Concubine Xian " I couldn't help but persuade Ming Shiyun Tang Wanyi said what Xiao Yingzhe asked her to secretly mention yesterday Ming Shiyun's current momentum is too attractive And if you don't avoid the edge, it's actually very dangerous
"I know, it's just that I can't avoid it when I'm supposed to come See the trick I'm not so easy to be bullied I don't have to worry too much "Turn the page to the place you saw yesterday Ming Shiyun no longer looked up at Tang Wanyi and looked like she didn't want to talk anymore "Okay, you go down, I want to stay alone for a while."
"Yes, the slave and maid quit"
Ming Shiyun's afternoon was easy, but Shu Linyu didn't have such a good life, so she could really relax Xiao Yingzhe had just personally led someone to take Yulian away, saying that she had something to ask her, but the meaningful look at herself when she was leaving made Shu Linyu couldn't help but be frightened Although she was very reluctant to think like this, she still had to admit that Xiao Yingzhe probably had noticed what was going on with the assassination
Looking out of the window absentmindedly Shu Linyu was anxious and scared She wasn't worried about what Yulian would admit After all, they were all trained dead soldiers What should not be revealed no matter how heavy the punishment is, it will not have a result But I am afraid that Xiao Yingzhe will use Yulian to set some trap or let her fall into it without knowing it, or lure others into being fooled That is the real trouble
At this time, Shu Linyu felt that her palms were constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't stop for a moment Fortunately, she had already said to Ming Shiyun As long as she was suspected of being an accomplice in the assassination by Xiao Yingzhe or was found to have any clues, she could push it all on Concubine Liang As long as she was framed by her as long as she was framed by her The people next to her believe it or not, at least Ming Shiyun will definitely believe it wholeheartedly and wash away the so-called grievances for her activities
Thinking of this, Shu Linyu felt a little guilty again, although using Ming Shiyun was a last resort, but thinking of her sincerity in treating herself, and then thinking of how she used this sincerity, she really wanted to take Ming Shiyun as a good sister At this time, she really felt that her heart was being tortured, but she had to do it again, because Xiao Jingwu was not dead, her task had not been completed, her goal had not been achieved, she had to live and wait for the opportunity to do it again
This time, she will never trust those so-called professionally trained assassins anymore She sees the strict security of the deep palace Even if she goes out for winter hunting, it is as difficult to succeed as a copper wall and the only chance now is on the bed When Xiao Jingwu completely relaxed, he attacked when he was most defenseless and most unexpected
But the top priority is not to act in a hurry Yulian was taken away I'm afraid she will be convicted She has lost her henchman and helper and has no means to communicate with the outside world It was already very difficult to contact the adult who sent her to the palace Now that the assassination has failed again I'm afraid that for a while she can only get a blank Even if she wants to act before that, she can only endure it Because what she wants to achieve is not just to let Xiao Jingwu die
Ay...... I don't know how the adults are now, but there is a new plan, how to contact him, or just wait quietly Until the adults send someone to take the initiative to contact me This state of not knowing whether to advance or retreat or stay in place is really uncomfortable Xiao Yingzhe, Xiao Yingzhe, you are really a good means No matter how much I hate you, I have to admire you now
Leaning quietly against the window Shu Linyu seemed to be looking at something out of her mind In fact, her heart was churning She will be driving back to the palace tomorrow When the time comes, everything will become more difficult More importantly, I don't know what will happen to Yulian if she is taken away Although the relationship between the two of them has always been quite cold and even a little nervous in private But after all, they were both sent to the palace to carry out tasks Shu Linyu would be somewhat worried about her
No matter how comfortable or anxious it is, the hard work of the day and night is fleeting Ming Shiyun, as always, was hugged by Xiao Jingwu in front of the public, and Shu Linyu was still injured and equipped with a huge chariot that was more comfortable than when she came, and the rain lotus that was taken away was still silent, but Xiao Jingwu took the first step to assign a royal front Shangyi next to her to serve her, so that Shu Linyu didn't even have a reason to ask about the situation of the rain lotus, so she had to sigh and close her eyes to recuperate
"Hmph, one or two are foxes, and it is really too peaceful to have such concubines in the palace Seeing that Ming Shiyun and Shu Linyu were treated like this, Concubine Liang Shufei angrily boarded her chariot and couldn't help but throw her cup
"Niangniang is not angry, the slave maid here has good news to tell Niangniang" Yinglu came up to serve Seeing that Concubine Liang had lost her manners, she was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the broken cup, and told the news she got so that her mother could be happy "The slave heard that the personal maid Yulian next to Concubine Shu Xian was personally led by the fifth prince to take people away, and it seems that she was involved in the previous assassination incident Didn't you see that the maids and maids around Concubine Shu Xian have changed people today?"
"Oh, there is such a thing," Concubine Liang Shu didn't know, and at this time, it was also strange to hear that Yinglu actually reported such news to her, "You can hear it accurately, it was the fifth prince who thought that Yulian had a problem and let people take her away, it was not a routine interrogation, after all, the assassination happened in her courtyard, even if you want to take someone from her courtyard to interrogate, it would be quite normal."
"This slave didn't dare to say it, but when the slave and maid passed by yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that the five princes personally led people to press the rain lotus away, and then inquired carefully, and only in the morning did I know that the rain lotus has not been put back until now, and the emperor directly pointed to Concubine Shu Xian, who was waiting for the imperial front Shangyi next to him, Do you say that this is not a clear problem with the rain lotus?"
"Oh, this is interesting," Concubine Liang Shu pondered for a while, and her improved face sank back again, "But what's the use of taking away a palace maid by her side The emperor has assigned the imperial Shangyi beside him to call her Doesn't this mean that Your Majesty will not have any problems with her because of a rain lotus as always besides, this rain lotus is not the dowry maid brought into the palace by her mother's family But she followed her after moving to Xiyuyuan Even if there is really any problem, she can easily get rid of it and can't hurt her at all."
"Niangniang doesn't do anything, of course she is easy to skim off, but if you let Prime Minister An add some spark here...... The fifth prince is now the time when he needs Prime Minister An Such a simple matter, and it is not easy for him to directly accuse Concubine Shu Xian, even if the emperor wants to pursue it, even if it is really slanderous, it is also what Yulian's girl said, and it has nothing to do with anyone next to him."
"That's a good idea...... Yinglu, you little girl, are getting more and more clever "Praise Yinglu Concubine Liang Shu's face has improved at this time, and she has returned to her former calm and relaxed appearance, and she seems to be a little proud."
